The super user should only be used to administration and to install  
programs that can not be changed by anyone else (to protect yourself).

In general this correct.

But the lazarus examples are not shipped precompiled. They are only  
sources, so if you want to run them you must compile them first. They  
use as output directories a sub directory, which is write protected if  
you installed the examples as super user.
Eventually the IDE will check this and allow to redirect the output to  
a writable directory.
At the moment the easiest way is to simply copy the examples to  
anywhere in your home directory. For example copy the whole examples  
directory to your desktop directory. Then use lazarus to open the lpi  
file of one of the examples in your desktop directory and run it.
